you are vaccinated may have much more sinister ideological motive. but, first, we go another leftist vaccination effort. this time targeting children. many parents are skeptical and rightfully so about whether their kids really need a covid vaccine. that is their right. data shows that minors are at minuscule risk from covid still government bureaucrats and left wing are trying to getting inoculate. after a year of misinformation many parents are we'rey of listening to these experts. so schools and state governments have decided to undermine adult parents, get, this by directly marketing the vaccine to children directly. striking the fear of god into minors so they can come home and tell you that they need a vaccine to save themselves. the experts have spoken. the parents? so yesterday. written off. more kids coming home to shame their parents based on facts

from government teachers. don't we get enough of that from higher education? it seems that most health officials are fine with the left using school systems to indoctrinate kids against their parents' wishes, tonight, one state is standing up and saying stop. leaked internal documents reportedly show that tennessee's health commissioner, dr. lisa piercy is putting an end to these types of twisted practices. she is instructing the tennessee health department to, first, no longer mail notices to minors reminding them to get a shot, and, second, she is stopping vaccine drives at public schools. well, you guessed it, the left is republicannably outraged. the public education system is their greatest tool in indoctrinating and now inoculating america's youth. they don't want a pesky doctor taking that away from them. so, of course, they, you know, dust off the old playbook. flip through the pages and ultimately landed on their

trusty you're killing america's kids talking point. chelsea clinton the self-described global health advocate which is code for my dad was a president so i don't need a real job, tossed the first stone. she exclaimed, quote: this is so disturbing. public health officials in tennessee should be encouraging teenagers to get vaccinated, not capitulating to anti-vaxers. teens who don't get vaccinated covid-19 are greater risk of hospitalization, death, long haul covid. the truth is, this has nothing to do with being anti-vaccination. tennessee is not preventing anybody from getting a vaccine. this is about not wanting government officials going behind your back and brainwashing your kids with fear and misinformation. and if you want to talk about the risk to minors, maybe chelsea clinton should take a look at the data. in tennessee, 11 people, and god bless their souls, 11 people

under the age of 17 have died from covid since the china virus arrived. that's 0.7 deaths per 100,000 teenagers. that's a .000007 percent chance of death. that's tough to read on the teleprompter. not necessarily the death sentence the media and democrats are making it out to be. here now tammy bruce, radio talk show host and a fox news contributor and tomi lahren, host of no interruption on fox nation. tomi, let me start with you. you are from tennessee. when you hear, this at least someone is standing up and saying we don't need to go into america's school pressing kids to get a vaccine. >> this is just another reminder, folks, this is tennessee, not california. and we will not stand for this. i would like to remind folks, especially the coronavirus fear mongers out there like chelsea clinton who were saying we are trying to discourage from

getting vaccinated. no, simply as you mention, pete, all this is not going to have vaccine drives on school property and not send out postcards to minors telling them to get their vaccine tore get their second dose. those postcards will be sent out to adults. liberals fear not. really what this comes from. there was a top vaccine official at the health department who is now fired who was essentially giving a road map on how they could exploit the mature minor doctrine to be able to administer vaccines to 14 to 17-year-olds without their parents' consent. she put a road map, a memo out there about kind of how to exploit that and how to do that and parents rightfully so were very angry about it so tennessee stood up and we said we are not going to tolerate it anymore. >> pete: followed by a door knock you might get mail in your mailbox for your minor. tammy, isn't this what the left assumes they can and should do? parents, get out of the way, we are the experts and inside the confines of our public schools, of course you have no right to know, that's our job.

>> yes, and it is especially important to them now to have access to children. and i say this because, of course, they are also in a drive for the most part to say that 16-year-olds should be able to vote. you have school snls where a child can access healthcare or what as some call healthcare, abortions on occasion on a school without telling parents without parents' permission. can make decisions at a certain age. at some point if they can vote and have abortions and they can get tattoos they can decide to get a vaccine without telling their parents or at least be communicated to by the government as a minor. the argument is going to be, well, they can have sex, they can make their own decisions. this is important because the left understands that american adults do not buy what they're selling. they know that in order to get the next generation, they have

to start indoctrinating children. of course, parents have seen, this pete, throughout covid with what teachers have been doing in the school rooms, critical race theory for children and then using children as human shields effectively to stay out of the classroom despite the negative impact on children. so, this is just another step and even though it's tennessee and i love the state of tennessee, it is a reminder that liberals everywhere are a problem. that democrats everywhere are a problem. because this happened in tennessee, thank goodness, the republicans there were able to stop it. >> pete: that's a good capstone the fact that it's happening in tennessee and stopping it means it is probably happening where you are and public officials are encouraging it as opposed to standing up to it you two, if you would, tomi, tammy, stay put. i want to follow up on a story we broke for you last night that i want your commentary on. how the government is bringing its vaccination effort to your doorstep. we talked about it last night literally in north carolina where groups are going door to

door not just information about the covid shot but with actual vaccines. they are bringing the vaccines with them. do you want it? now you can have it now the biden administration told us people would be come to a neighborhood near you. they told us that. who exactly were these people going to be? we're. >> we're getting trusted messengers to try to get people to understand and appreciate why it's important for their own safety. >> local, trusted messengers, doctors, faith leaders, community leaders. >> doctors, faith leaders, community leaders, so it's part of our efforts, trusted messengers may go door to door. >> pete: so trusted messengers is clearly the talking point. they have said it over and over. well, what could be wrong with that? well, as we found out last night, it's not just doctors or members of the clergy showing unat your door. it's far left activist groups like action nc who have this big old resist fist right there on

their home page. that got us thinking that couldn't be the only progressive group going door to door passing out vaccine info. well, it turns out we were right. i hate that we are right, but we were. it's a long list of groups like ie united whose progressive platform pushes radical racial reforms and calls for climate justice. its website also links directly to planned parenthood. and alliance s.d. a group that wants to build a more progressive san diego. and the cnc education fund whose liberal agenda extends to immigration, healthcare for all, and the environment. and i'm sure all of these trusted messengers are going door to door for free, right? just out of the goodness of their heart. they couldn't be using covid outreach as an opportunity, i don't know, to line their pockets with government money and freshen up the old voter databases. here's a document we got from canvassers in lake county, illinois. tell them they should ignore no solicitation signs and knock on

doors anyway. if you put a no solicitation, nope, ignore it this document says point number one, you are not soliciting because you are not seeking an order for any good or services. you are not considered a slither. therefore, no solicitation signs do not apply to you, storm right in. in another point, report on your work, exclamation point. be sure to fill out the door knocking spreadsheet with the counts of who still needs a vaccine, who is already vaccinated, who needs more info, et cetera. because, remember, it's not just a matter of what information these trusted messengers are handing out, it's what information they can collect on you and your neighbors. let's bring back in tammy bruce and tomi lahren. tammy, you have been a stupidity of the left. you understand how they operate. would it surprise you at all that the government would enlist left wing groups. >> tammy: i lost pete.

>> pete: tammy, you lost me? we will go tomi. tomi, does it surprise you at all. same question would it surprise you leverage public-private partnership, call it what you want to push the covid vaccine and maybe more? >> you know, pete. i lived in california for several years. what this sounds like to me is ballot harvesting on steroids or should i say on covid vaccine. of course they are going to go there and get information. this whole door-to-door vaccine patrol push is ridiculous in and of itself. it's not going to go well. furthermore, let's think about this. for a year and a half, especially democrat run states told us we couldn't go to work. only certain things were essential that woe couldn't have our children in school. but now they think it's appropriate to send people door to door to push and shame the vaccine on americans? again, they think that we're ininept and not capable of making health and wellness decisions. this is another opportunity for them to push their radical ideology and we know they are going to do it and they're all going to do it again with the cover of coronavirus just like they did in 2020. this is the same game, it's just

a new page in the rule book. >> pete: absolutely. tammy, i think we have you. i you this are back. we got you? >> tammy: yes. >> pete: love it. >> tammy: there you do. >> pete: power of television. you woo it surprise you at all if the white house and the bureaucracy in washington says okay we are going to administer the covid vaccine and use trusted messengers, they would immediately enlist left wing organizations to go door to door and there is no way they are doing this for free, tammy, what are they doing? tammy tammy forgive me since i didn't hear tommy's answer it may be somewhat repetitive this may be amounts i don't massive amounts of money to leftist community organizers. this is a page out of barack obama's playbook. this is exactly what they are doing. your tax dollars moving to these entities. this is the 2022 and 2024 campaign. once again, exploiting a health issue. exploiting the population, and, frankly, they think that we would rather not have federal

workers do this. the fact that they are using local individuals is even more intimidating who then will knock on your door, be staying in that community, and especially in that paper you receive, that insider information. >> pete: instructions. >> tammy: instructions and targeting seniors and targeting building managers, asking for information about the people inside any kind of an apartment building or any dynamic like that. it is -- i think it's meant to be intimidating. it is unacceptable. no solicitation signs should send a message that do not knock on my door if you are a stranger. these are -- it is an outrageous dynamic and both of these stories, what we talked about earlier and this one, are the same. it's the government trying to train you they belong in your house, that you have no autonomy left and, of course, they need to find out that's incorrect. >> pete: i think we have just hit the tip of the iceberg on

something much bigger. you think about huge covid relief bills. where is that money going. how is it being implemented. who is ultimately receiving it and what are they doing with it? tomi lahren and tammy bruce thank you so much. great stuff. >> tammy: thanks. >> thanks, pete. >> pete: the biden administration's to combat covid misinformation. one private text message at a time. and you thought they weren't looking through your phone. missouri senator josh hawley joins us next. ♪ ♪ veteran homeowners, newday's rates have dropped again. it's time to refinance. newday's low rate refi offers their lowest rate in history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. save thousands every year and there are no upfront costs. not one dollar. the newday low rate refi. take advantage of these record low rates so you and your family can save.

>> pete: that's what i wanted to ask you. how is it not unconstitutional considering any number of the amendments and the bill of rights that the government could do this? there has got to be an avenue to challenge this or is this something that will happen without most of us knowing? >> well, i can't imagine the that the government has the power to look at our text messages without warrant. under our current law they don't. here is what worries me though, pete. it's pressuring the phone companies, pressuring verizon and at&t and whoever else to voluntarily comply and tell them the government what we're texting, what we are saying on our private messages. that's the real danger here big government, big corporation alliance. that's what we have got to be weary of and we have got say come on let's stand up for free speech in this country. >> pete: it's always health and safety the umbrella clean-up they can intrude all over our lives. senator, you have been all over this topic.

thank you for keeping us updated. thank you. >> thank you. >> pete: hundreds of years people predicting the collapse of civilization. doomsday clock to mark the days humanity had left. well, in 1972, a report from mit predicted society would end some time in the 21st century. and now new research says they might be right? and that civilization as we know it could end in as few as 20 years. so we're all going to die or is the sky falling once again. douglas murly. douglas, thanks for being here. the study breaks down more on population and resources and all of that and we have got the latest doomsday predictions from the crowd. what do you make of this study and could it be right? >> well, great pleasure to be with you, pete. the 1970s were a great time for these types of studies.

studies claimed that by now we would all be freezing to death or boiling to death. 170s studies say by now the world was going to be overpopulated and under populated. there was going to be a scramble for water the last remaining drops and also going to be drowning in the stuff. so, the problem with futurology has always been the same, you know, you are a military man you know the old saying about military campaigns. the plans don't survive their first incounter with the enemy. it's the same with futurology. futurology never survives its first encounter with the future. things always change. the interesting thing about this report is, of course, the fact that it predicts basically going to be civilizational collapse in the 21st century during the economic strange. i would have said one thing though, they are claiming that there is going to be civilizational collapse in the 21st century. pretty good bet. it's where it's going to happen and when that we all want to know about. >> pete: you are exactly right.

innovation is what always stifles the futurists. you can't factor in what you don't know. at the same time, the reason this story resonates is we all have the feeling in our gut like the status quo feels untenable. forget about the climate zealots always yelling that it's going to be too hot or too cold. the way we are coexisting as a culture, especially in western civilization can't hold. that's why it resonates. >> i think there are several big things. one is, of course, we are all aware that the last year has been highly unusual. you know, china and the virus managed to crash the whole global committee and then china walked away with the only country with actual growth in 2020. and there is something very unnerving about all of this. unnerving about society shifting as much as it has and still feeling like we haven't quite felt the consequences. that's one thing, but, of course, in countries like this one, we have all these societal factors going on at the moment underneath. all the people are trying to divide america. all the people who are trying to

make americans hate each other. and i think -- if i was in 1970s mit person. i would have put my money on that being the problem in the 21st century in america. not any lack of ingenuity or lack of resources but people being divided and turning on the foundations of their own country. for me, for america, that is the biggest threat. >> pete: they have done it and done it intentionally, douglas murray i'm a-number one in your fan club. always have a smart take. appreciate it very much. >> it's a great pleasure. >> pete: you got it come up taliban violence surging as the u.s. pulling our troops full-out of afghanistan. should we stay or should we go? my old letters from the frontline of the war in afghanistan my have some interesting answers. same with former navy seal rob o'neill joins us next. ♪ ♪

♪ >> pete: we live in times with all too often satire mirrors reality. sometimes it's funny. sometimes it's sad. sometimes it's both. enter the war in afghanistan. deadly serious and, yet, so damn unserious at the same time. so much heroism and valor and so many lives sacrificed at the altar of freedom. i know many of them. i know their widows and parents. virtue of afghanistan belongs to the american war fire the trigger pullers. god bless all of them. then there was the mission. the troops always wondered about that, which is why a recent did you feel blog article which is a tire think babylon befor the military. it caught my eye. it was actually sent to me by group of fellow vets guys that i served with. the fake headline reads u.s. quietly drops enduring and freedom portions of operation enduring freedom hence forth

operation. this new mission is better aligned with our country's strategic goals in the region moving forward, of which, honestly, your guess is as good as ours. the statement added that the name of operation was chosen because it was the only thing, quote: appropriately vegas and ridiculous enough to capture the full absurdity of the past 20 years. as i said when satire mirrors real life. i served in iraq before i deployed to afghanistan. before i left to deployment to iraq i had a pessimistic view of the war. negative headlines were everywhere. we were told it was a gawg myer. after a year of combat i came home optimistic a model central governor man's. mostly literate and mostly educated population a real national army and some semblance

of pluralism. i remember killing scores of carbon monoxide and islamic thugs. iraq at least had a chance if we handled it correctly which we ultimately did not, of course. we were told iraq was the bad war and afghanistan the good war. then, i deployed to afghanistan. i landed at the now deceased bag gram air base beaming with optimism and flew out nine months later realizing the war was already lost. it was 2012. today i went back and read the letters i wrote home from afghanistan. it was like reading letters from a guy being slowly mugged by reality. we could surge and conduct counter insurgency all we wanted, it wasn't going to matter. afghanistan didn't want freedom. and our commitment wasn't enduring. the operation was doomed to fail. we knew it then and we know it today. afghanistan had none of those iningredients i saw in iraq. it was and is biblical times with ak-47s and cell phones. one of my letters home included

this doocy. the lack of education and level of ignorance in afghanistan is staggering. literally only one in 10 men who joined the afghan national army can write his own name. and only slightly more can count. so the guys who can't read and can't count were going to fight off the taliban and surely manage the sophisticated military equipment we were giving them. worse, is as i wrote about,er afghan army unit was given more, newer, and better military equipment than the national guard unit in your home state and mine currently have today. for example, when i was in afghanistan, in afghan heavy weapons battalion was given 18 brand new 50 caliber machine guns and dozens of smaller caliber heavy weapons and rggs. i challenge you to walk into any army national guard armory in the united states and ask them how many functioning 50 caliber machine guns they have.

there won't be many, if any. 10 years ago we knew much of that equipment was being sold away in pakistan. today it's falling into the hands of the taliban. imagine, if we equipped ourselves at home instead of equipping illiterate poppy farmers who don't even trust fellow soldiers in their unit. the operation sadly in afghanistan is going to fall apart. it's going to fall apart quickly. as i saw 10 years ago it was obvious to anyone who wasn't blindly invested that the taliban maintained and maintains a psychological grip on the country, which isn't even a country. it's all about family clan tribe, religion and region. the afghan national government is a western fabrication. 97% of afghanistan's gross domestic product 97% is linked to foreign aid. their real economy is drugs. opium. outside of their capitol city of kabul, there is no real infrastructure and no education. we built schools and hospitals. and then our afghan friends

stole the furnishings and the taliban blew them up. now, some elite and well-trained afghans will fight. but most can't or won't. the real power has been and remains with the war lords and the taliban. the headlines each day underscore this. as the taliban take more and more ground, the border with pakistan was never even close to being closed, so we fought the war next to a giant safe zone for the enemy on are a arbitrary line. should we keep fighting this? hell no. should we learn from it? we had better. i feel horrible for the afghan people. especially women and girls. but it's their country now. we stayed too long. our soldiers did all they could while our generals and politicians dithers for two decades. our last job is to get our afghan advisers and interpreters out of there now. reports out today signal that the biden administration will announce the start of operation allied refuge a u.s. air force

led air lift to evacuate tens of thousands of our afghan allies. let's hope this operation goes better than the last one. when i was training for my deployment to afghanistan, i was aroused out of my bunk at fort dix new jersey with the news that usama bin laden was dead it changed the war. and probably should have ended it. our next guest shot bin laden in the face. joining me now is navy seal rob o'neil. rob, 20 years, a lot of thoughts, a lot of experiences, people know you from the bin laden raid but you have spent multiple tours over many years in afghanistan. am i off base here? >> i think you are completely on base, pete. and thanks for having me. yeah, it's one of those places afghanistan where if you haven't been there, you wouldn't believe people. one of the best stories that i have is one of my interpreters was also my chef. i got in an argument with him

one time i said you know if we surround afghanistan with 300-foot wall that was electrified, you wouldn't have a television in 10,000 years. my country put a man on the moon in 200 years and he said mr. can't put a man on the moon it's this big. and that's -- i mean, some of these people, not only do they not know how old they are, they don't know what time is. it's a different world. i have seen true poverty that children with no clothes playing in sewage. it's up is down and down is up. we can never install jeffersonian democracy there they don't want it. one of the best quotes i have ever heard we have the watches but they have the time. >> pete: that's not to disparage afghans. we have met wonderful people over there. we get it it's the other side of the moon to your point. it's an entirely different world. we tried to build a top down afghan army. i'm sure you would have met the best trained afghans.

there will be ones that will stay to fight. but, ultimately, was your experience that those with the afghan national army if the taliban is winning, they are probably going to that side. >> it is such a difficult place to be that a lot of those people and, again, some of the best people i have ever met in my life were afghanis. some of the best people ever. they have alli if you ask for help they will give it to you. they're also fighting for money. haqqani network pays, taliban pays, we pay. they don't want a propped up proxy government. they want something that the people have and that's what the taliban is. they are going to come back. in it seems like yesterday we are watching people shave their beards and 20 years ago they're coming back. >> pete: rob, real quick, we are out of time. when should we have left declared victory. >> we should have been out thereof in 2003. i was there in 2005. that's when we rescued the lone survivor mark luttrell. there is a big difference

that stop and it shows zero evidence of racism. in fact, representative thompson was pulled over for not having a front license plate and speeding away too quickly from a downtown intersection. during the stop, thompson also present add wisconsin driver's license. his money society driving privileges had been suspended for not paying child support. listen now to the body cam footage and you will hear thompson accuse the sergeant of being racist. watch. >> you profiled me because you looked me dead in the face and i got a ticket for driving while black. you pulled me over because you saw a black face in this car, brother. there is no way in hell i'm taking off with you behind me. you looked in this car u-turn and got behind my car. >> now, for clarity, representative thompson did not object to anything the officer said or did during the stop. thompson even released a statement acknowledging, quote: in the video you won't see the officer do anything that isn't by the book. but he goes on to say, quote:

we need to rewrite the book. though he doesn't say exactly why. the saint paul police chief says thompson owes the sergeant an apology and finally we should note, issues that have nothing to do with the stop are also being looked into including why minnesota rep thompson still has a wisconsin driver's license and why his address in saint paul is not in the district he represents. pete? >> pete: details. trace, thank you so much. appreciate it. all right. summer courses are underway at colleges across the nation. well, let's check in on penn state university. shall we? >> i just take the average white guy in class, whoever it is. it doesn't really matter, good. look at russell right here. just doesn't matter what he does. if i match him up with the black -- a black guy in class or a brown guy even, russell has a benefit of having white skin. how does it feel knowing that push comes to shove, your skin is kind of nice? >> i don't know. it makes me feel like sad.

>> pete: joining me now vanderbilt university carol swain. thank you for being here this was sociology professor dr. sam richard. he loved his lecture so much that he recorded it and posted it online. is he proud of this. does this surprise you at all? >> well, it's very sad that we have reached such a state that a professor who ebb games in behavior that i would describe as inappropriate and indecent that he is proud of that. no professor or anyone in a position of authority should shame a student. and so he, in a classroom, i believe, of 800 students, he picked on one student and if you actually dissect what he said, i would consider that white supremacist talk because he is assuming that having white skin makes someone superior to racial

ethnic minorities. it's in his own words. >> pete: so, exactly, is he making racist statements to justify his political or his ideological perspective. we have been told by many on the left, no, no, no, no, no. we are not teaching critical race theory. that's just something in law school. that's it. it's not anywhere else. is this ultimately what the teaching of critical race theory looks like in the open? >> yes. because it says that all white people are privileged because of their white skin. they belong to a class of oppressors or minorities of victims. so it is critical race theory. it is everywhere. and this professor and the university they should be ashamed of themselves. >> pete: absolutely. the student goes on to say it makes me feel sad because god knows i don't deserve it like i didn't choose to be white. that he was the whole point, no one chooses their race and ultimately the idea is to get past it certainly not what penn state is doing.

i wonder what they will say about this? we will put in a question. carol swain, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> pete: we appreciate it coming up, it's not raining cats or dogs. it's raining fish but why? you will find out when we put will cain on the clock next. ♪ ♪ e need to cancel. cancel. i haven't left the house in a year. nothing will stop me from vacation. no canceling. flexible cancellation. kayak. search one and done.

♪ ♪ >> pete: time to put my good friend and fellow fox & friends we can go host will cain on the clock, dressed so nicely tonight. four topics, 60 seconds each, let the emojis be our guide. let's go. first up, the judge in the britney spears conservatorship case is just paved the way for britney to hire her own attorney after being represented by a court appointed lawyer for the last 13 years. you have your law degree, you know this stuff better than i do. why wasn't able to choose her own attorney in the first place? >> i assume, pete -- and i'm going to be honest, my law degree is not helping me out on this story. it's more like i slept in a

holiday inn express. i assume because -- the same reason she has a conservatorship, they assume she wasn't competent to hire her own attorney or select her own attorney. they are slowly seeming to allow her to be a functioning adult in the united states of america at the age of 39, which i think everyone, regard us of whether or not you think christina aguilera was better than britney spears or britney spears was better, it's not a debate, eckstein was clearly better. >> pete: really? >> everybody agrees that it should a functioning adult. >> pete: i love the meme, she survived 2007, you can survive today. but should she really be in bondage for 14 years after what happened in 2007? >> no. by the way, i know you are team britney. >> pete: 100% all the way, it's not even a doubt. get this one, greg gutfeld loves the story too. robots will not be taking over our jobs just yet. a robot named pepper was hired to work for a nursing home, funeral business and a bank, but pepper sucked so much all those jobs it was fired from every single one, so maybe robots won't take over the earth, will.

>> no. no, see, don't get cocky. that's what's going on here. they are looming you into get a little cocky and make us think we have the upper hand, we clearly do not. >> pete: can you see pepper on the screen? pepper is not going to great world domination, he's barely wearing a hat. >> pepper is a false flag operation. the real robots come later. the real robots come with much more ability and size. don't let little child like pepper full you. that's what they run out first to lull us into complacency. >> pete: that's a good argument. i will say maybe they used him improperly. at the funeral home they close to him and buddhist clergy garb chanting the buddhist scriptures depending on the deceased, but it kept breaking down during a practice runs. not only do you get a robot for your service, but it doesn't work. >> i think the last job robots will take is spiritual guidance. they'll get all the other ones. that's the last one. >> pete: they went for the wrong one first. up next, it's raining fish. let's go to utah where thousands of fish are dropped from the sky -- look at that film this

month by an airplane to help stock local lakes with fishes. peta cannot be okay with this. it is will cain okay with this? >> okay? it's awesome! i don't understand, what, because it's a nosedive from a high-altitude? >> pete: you can't drop from that high, what's that they can? >> i did wonder how many of the fish on impact do not survive but did you see the way they used to stock fish high up in the mountains, these mountain lakes? they used to going on horseback with milk jugs filled with fish. imagine that trip. i'm going to bet the fatality rate on that trip was much higher than these fish dropping from the plane. i'm going to bet this is much better. both for the fish and for us. >> pete: here's what i want to know, why are we dropping fish in lakes that people can't access unless they have a horse? is there so much of a need to fish in those places? where they go downstream. >> i'm going to assume they breed in the lakes, live in the lakes, go downstream, they make their way and we fish them out with our fly fishing rods.

>> pete: i didn't factor the stream technology. thank you for educating me. according to a new survey, this is a good one, one in three parents admit that feeling ill when helping their kids with math and science. i know you've had to do that. are you good at it? >> no, no, no, no. not good. you have more kids on the age strata than i do so i cut 13 ank when the aged out of asking me for advice without my phone -- with no phone in my hand for advice on math. and i'll bet you anything it was in sixth, seventh grade range. after that it was -- >> pete: pushed it down to second and third grade because you can't figure out the math. real quick, 61% of people don't know how to calculate the circumference of a circle. can will cain calculate the circumference of a circle? >> i mean, i don't know. if i take the radius and multiplied by 2 and multiply it by pie i think i get the circumference of the circle. >> pete: unbelievable! you know i had to look that up!

you nailed it! >> i knew you would do this to me, so i did review -- i was like which one will he ask me. swear to god, shot in the dark, i looked that one up and it's the when you asked me. >> pete: i'm so impressed, well done. we will do it again tomorrow night if you are willing. thanks for watching "fox news primetime." we are back here tomorrow night. tucker carlson up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it's not a partisan talking point or really any kind of exaggeration at all to say that joe biden has opened this country 'has borders to the world. since biden's inauguration in january, the border patrol has apprehended close to a million foreign nationals coming into this country overland through mexico. how many people is that? well, it's more people than live in the entire cities of san francisco,
